Comments, Recommendations and Participation

Various activities that occur on state owned aquatic lands require a detailed environmental review process. Some of that process can include the creation of technical documents such as Environmental Impact Statements (EIS), Environmental Assessments (EA), Mitigation Plans, and Best Management Practices (BMPs). AAMT support to the environmental review process can include comments and recommendations to documents and processes; technical committee participation, and further research. Examples of activities that might require a more detailed review from science staff include:

Marina Expansions

Port Development

Floating Aquaculture

Restoration Projects

Examples of impacts addressed in the environmental review process from the listed types of activities can include the following:
